TITLE: JAMM - Jedi Academy Mod Manager v1.0
AUTHOR: JimiF
E-MAIL: jimif3000@tiscali.co.uk
FILENAME: JAMM v1.0.exe
FILESIZE: 68 kb
DATE RELEASED: 19 June 2009
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Remove the following files/folders from your GameData directory:
* any version of JAMM - This includes any of the following JAMM v0.4.exe, JAMM v0.5.exe and JAMM v0.6.exe
* config.txt
* ModBin - Remove any pk3 files first and place them somewhere safe.
Any mods that you wish to use with the mod installer must be placed in the ModBin directory located in your GameData folder after the first run (this only needs to be done once). The ModBin Installer located here:
http://jediknight3.filefront.com/file/ModBin_Installer;89151
will allow you to move pk3 files to the ModBin
After this simply run the installer application to install version 1.0 of JAMM and its relevant dependencies.
DESCRIPTION:
JAMM is a Mod Manager for Jedi Academy, showing all currently installed mods in the mod folders (except japlus_gla_anims.pk3) and allows you to execute Jedi Academy with either ForceMod III, Jedi Academy Plus, ClanMod, MovieBattles II Mod, Open Jedi Project (enhanced)or No Game Mod activated automatically (saving you having to go to Setup>Mods after loading the game). It also has a .pk3 installer/uninstaller which is simple and easy to use, making it really easy for those of us who don't know how to install a .pk3 or those of us who just can't be bothered to load the base folder. Simply click the file you want to install/uninstall in the appropriate list and click the appropriate button. The program is still being developed (hence only v0.6) and I open to suggestion about features you would like to see in it. Email me any suggestions and I'll see what I can do.
FEATURES ADDED SINCE PREVIOUS VERSION:
* Advanced Features
- These allow detection of the type of pk3. These are still in beta, and there is a warning when you first start the program warning you about this. They will slow the program down, especially with a huge amount of pk3 files in your ModBin directory. You have been warned!
* Multi-Select has been enabled by Ctrl+Clicking on individual mods, or shift+clicking to select a range (as you would do in a standard file system.
* OJP(enhanced) support has been added to the launch menu.
* Config file is now of .ini type to conform to standards.
BUGS:
**********************
*!!! WARNING
!!!*
**********************
THE ADVANCED FEATURES DO NOT FULLY WORK! THESE FEATURES ARE IN BETA TESTING, AS SUCH, PLEASE EXPECT LONG DELAYS WHILST USING THESE FEATURES. DO NOT MAKE COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT TO ME! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
If you do find another bug, please email me details of exactly what you were trying to do at the time of the bug occurring.
COMMENTS:
Keep giving me suggestions guys! I'm really sorry about the really late release date (especially as I promised version 1.0 before Christmas 08 :P) but having a girlfriend and a computer science degree can be really distracting.
In the meantime, please note the beerware license included, and let me know about other stuff you'd like to see, I have a bit of spare time over the summer (but do have a project to be working on so JAMM will be taking a back seat for a while.)
PLANNED UPDATES:
* Finish work on Advanced Features - Hopefully speeding them up :)
* Any suggestions made by the users!
